Artist Statement

As we age, we evolve.
Inspired by personal and imminent life changes including college graduation, marriage, and joining the workforce, “Transform” conveys through self-portraiture several of my closest relationships and investigates relational adjustments and consistencies throughout a transition stage of life. Major life changes have the power to redefine who we are and our affiliation with others. How might relationships vary or persist throughout time? What does an individual’s connection with others say about her prior and current states? Can past relational alterations predict future transformations?
